2026 CA WR Chris Henry Jr. ???

[OregonBuckeye]

Just tell Chris to watch the Ohio State and Oregon game this weekend.

If it doesn’t work out, I’d offer his bag to Coleman or Marsh in the portal.

Who at Rivals? Who got that intel?

But it's a good point. We were considered WRU before Hartline up until LSU made their run in the 2010s. Carter, Galloway, Glenn, Boston, Jenkins, Holmes, Ginn, Gonzalez, and Thomas were the big ones, but you also had guys like Hartline, Robiskie, Posey, etc. who were day 2 types

Sounds like’s trending to Oregon regardless.

Was always going to be a disappointing cycle for WR whenever Hartline decided to go.

 

[Honor&Glory]

Not ideal but it is what it is. If the kid just wants the biggest bag ever and doesn’t want development that’s not for me to be concerned about

Hartline is definitely important and instrumental. But to develop, a WR needs the weight room, practice with top corners, and compete in great games. This is why Hartline won't turn USF into tOSU, and tOSU won't suddenly become less because of one person.

Agreed! Coleman or Marsh would be an amazing portal get

Has to be the shoe money. From rooted culture and history, the programs are not the same.

From everything ive been reading Henrys relationship with Lanning keeps getting referenced, so did he not have a relationship with Day? so weird

which is interesting to me since he's a signed Adidas athlete

I mean Ohio state will be less, but not drastically less. Anytime you lose a GOAT position coach there will be some sort of drop off.

Our drop off won't even be down to Oregon's pinnacle. This is dumb.

To be fair, there have been warnings

Do you expect him to say it’s a decision based on money?

And (according to 11W forum) Birm reported that Henry is going to Oregon and will receive a package comparable to Tate this season from Oregon.

Ohio State will load up the WR room in the portal with guys who are ready to contribute next season (versus guys listed at 6’5” 200 lbs with a history of injury in HS).
